GORDON REID

Gordon Reid Appointment

Mr. Reid has some 40 years of experience in the mining industry working for many of the largest global mining companies in senior positions such as Noranda, Rio Algom, and Placer Dome. His last 15 years were at Centerra Gold Inc ("Centerra"), a large cap international gold mining company, that also owned -- until recently -- 50% of Greenstone Gold Mines ("Greenstone") including the Hardrock Project.

At Centerra, Mr. Reid had multiple and uniquely different leadership roles spanning from VP for Business Development before moving to Kyrgyzstan in October 2007 to assume the role of President of Kumtor Operating Company - managing Centerra's largest gold mining asset in a very challenging operating region. He served in that role until March 2009 before returning to Toronto to assume the role of VP for Operations. He was promoted to VP and COO in 2013.

More germane, until December 2020, Centerra was the 50% owner of Greenstone, Tombill Main Group's neighbour. Whilst with Centerra, Mr. Reid oversaw this asset, its development, and remained on the board of Greenstone until its disposal. His intimate knowledge of the Greenstone/Hardrock Project will be invaluable and of great benefit to Tombill.

Mr. Reid is an owner of Tombill Common shares.

Gordon Reid commented, "I had very focused, boots-on-the-ground exposure to the Geraldton Gold Camp as COO of Centerra and board member of Greenstone. I managed, and know the Hardrock Project well, and believe it and its surroundings represents one of the most exciting prospects for a gold mine in North America. Moreover, given Tombill's geographical overlap with Greenstone and Hardrock, I have been aware of Tombill for a long time. When Tombill decided to invest considerably in unlocking its potential, I became very interested in their program, the accelerated evolution of the region, and wanted to share my expertise."
